Not reproducible: Beam weapons can still miss the Mantis and other units

Open Basilisk3 opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

I cannot reproduce this, even with gifted units like in the replay.

Units, that I can confirm are affected by this:

  • Mantis (possibly fixed by #5941)
  • Medusa (possibly fixed by #5941)
  • Sinntha (T3 Strategic Bomber)

Example: Replay ID: 21471096 Timestamp: 9:15, watch Swatoslav's first Tech 2 PDs in his mid base.

Another example: Replay ID: 21498203 Timestamp: 12:40 Watch the first Tech 2 PD's built to defend against Paralon's push. If you watch closely, you will notice that they excessively miss both Mantis and Medusas. Note that I am not talking about them hitting the terrain. The Ilshavohs can also be seen missing excessively.

It appears that this is not exclusive to the mantis and that it can happen to other units as well. I am guessing there is another bug at work here, because these units should have a sufficient Z-size already.

I also remember seeing this happen to the shard. @Garanas Shall we just increase the Z-size of these units, and see if this still happens?

I'm not sure. If it is trivial to reproduce then yes, but for rare edge cases I don't think we should keep increasing the size of the collision boxes.

The Shard still has some spare room, you can increase that by one or more one tents!

It is not reproducible, but I have seen it multiple times now (at least with the Mantis). In case I see it in more replays, I will post those too.

This is probably related to this:
